WinFsp-MemFs-Extended/MemExtendedFs (memefs) is a fork of WinFsp's memfs with some improvements that make it suitable for a constantly running RAM disk that only allocates the memory actually needed to store the files.
\ \ As you can see, the unpreallocated file write times make the original memfs unusable, especially for web downloads. But if you need maximum sequential speed and are able to preallocate the file with NtCreateFile and its AllocationSize, then you should use the original memfs. The fsbench results above are outdated and memefs (this repository) is faster in most cases, sometimes significantly.
